Bakelite 'wunup' cigarette case. Rarely found in Australia, these look plain but are functionally awesome. Cigarettes sit vertically in the case, and each is individually spring-loaded. As you slide the little top piece across and open, they pop up one by one. Nothing this dinky ever gets made these days!

I used to collect bakelite as a child and had absolutely loads of the stuff. After years of living in crap rented accomodation and countless moonlit flits from dodgy landlords most of it fell by the wayside. I love the Cutex set so much and the reclining nude. xxx.

Oooooohhhhh, my im lost for words again. Wow they are all works of art in their own right. I have never seen anything like any of the items you have just shown us and the nail polish remover box in the first picture is amazing the shape, colour and style and the trinket holder love them all. I adore bakelite, I currently have a lovely white mantle clock and to valve radios which i adore. There is a bakelite musuem close by to where i live which i only found out about towards the end of last year that is a trip for this year. Good luck with all your sales. Dee x
